Fraud Prevention: Trust But Verify
Presenter: Katherine Heekin

The typical company in the United States loses 7 percent of gross revenue to fraud and abuse every year according to the 2008 Report to the Nation of Occupational and Fraud Abuse. One quarter of the fraud schemes involve losses in excess of $1 million and the majority of the frauds were committed by either a company's employee or manager. The right people, trained properly, are your company's best defense. Katherine Heekin, a certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) with the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, identified as the “premier financial sleuthing organization” by The Wall Street Journal, will use examples from the headlines of local, state and national news to illustrate the risks, the fraud triangle and the fraudster's profile. She will provide practical solutions for protecting your company's assets, reputation and future.
